  • Patent number: 12278124
    Abstract: A load lock in which the pumping speed is controlled so as to minimize the possibility of condensation is disclosed. The load lock is in communication with a vacuum pump and a valve. A controller is used to control the valve such that the supersaturation ratio within the load lock does not exceed a predetermined threshold, which is less than or equal to the critical value at which vapor condenses. In certain embodiments, a computer model is used to generate a profile, which may be a pumping speed profile or a pressure profile, and the valve is controlled according to the profile. In another embodiment, the load lock comprises a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor. The controller may calculate the supersaturation ratio based on these parameters and control the valve accordingly.

  • Patent number: 10831621
    Abstract: Embodiments for policy-driven high availability (HA) standby servers in a multi-server high availability (HA) computing environment. Policies may be created that define selected sessions for a user (e.g., important sessions to the user) such that only one or more artifacts of each selected session are replicated to one or more HA standby servers. The one or more artifacts and the one or more policies of a selected session may be synchronized from a primary server to the one or more HA standby servers.

  • Publication number: 20090319945
    Abstract: A data replication management interface is provided for selecting a state for replicating data from one site to another site. A pictorial representation of and/or a command line for multiple states is displayed. A pictorial representation of a current state is displayed. Each one of the multiple states respectively corresponds to multiple steps to accomplish each one of the multiple states. The multiple states are configured to be individually selected. An individual selection of one of the multiple states causes the multiple steps for the individual selection to be accomplished. The individual selection of one of the multiple states is selected by a user without requiring the user to choose any of the multiple steps to accomplish the individual selection.
